Sommario/riassunto

'Tales of Brexits Past and Present: Understanding the Choices, Threats and Opportunities In Our Separation from the EU'provides a compelling insight into the Brexit process in a uniquely historical context. Looking at previous 'Brexits' under the lens of international risk, the book tackles five specific themes relating to the Brexit result - competition in the global innovation economy, the generational split, the 'left behind' aspirational working and middle classes, the impact on international relations, and popularism in the internet age. By looking to the past, this book will offer insights into what we might expect in the future,



providing an engaging narrative that will open the minds of readers to the options, risks and opportunities that could be unmasked in the Brexit process.
